Howdy...just heard about Inkscape this AM. I am not a developer, would be a casual user at best, but would like to take a gander. User, repeat USER, of Fedora Core 3. Not a coder, programmer (or even artist for that matter!) However I'm having problems compiling.
When I ran configure it told me configure: error: libgc (the Boehm Conservative Collector) 6.4+, is needed to compile Inkscape -- http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc
Fair enough. I got it (and thanks for including the URL) and it compiled fine without me changing or doing anything--just accepted its defaults and whiz, in it went. OK, back to Inkscape and configure croaks at the same place. Same error message.
What do I need to do to have Inkscape know this is in, or how do I need to compile, install, whatever to communicate that?
Thanks-
Try downloading inkscape-0.41-1.static.i686.rpm directly from SF.net download area. It's static build so all needed libraries it has built inside and works on FC3 fine for me. Instalation is easy(rpm -ivh inkscape-0.41-1.static.i686.rpm) and it's up and running(thanks for this static build gentlemen).
